The Dish: The Fervor around Flash Boys

I’ve had a chip on my shoulder in the past about HFT, but the more I began to understand the stock market the more I realized that at some level it’s necessary. That being said, there is such a thing as too much of everything, and we’ve reached the point that HFT is getting a little ridiculous. Flash Boys is interesting in that people are paying attention now, but we’ll have to see exactly what sort of impact, if any, it will have.
